Just finally got to bring my new baby home today and actually get into it.
My favorite guitar has always been the Les Paul. But the model I want only runs $6k and higher so can't afford that.
Last month at this time, I tried out this Washburn WI-80 Custom and fell in love with it there on the spot. Looks and feels exactly like a Les Paul and from the sound of it.. can't really tell a difference between them!
I priced this guitar out through various places on the net and found they all wanted roughly around $2.5k for it. So when I was able to get this brand new bad boy for around $1.7k I told the wife that we aren't getting a bad deal at all!
Got it home.. run it through the amp clean and O M G! B E A U TI FUL! Hooked it up to my puter and ran it through some sound effects and it was sooooo nice!
Can't wait till I bring my Crate Amp all home to match it! Now not only can I play Jingle Bells.. but I can do it with CLASS! :D
